Sun Moon Lake
The beautiful scenery here attracted many couples to come and have fun.
However, when that icy figure appeared by the lakeshore, everyone's gaze was drawn to her uniquely aloof aura.
Snow Empress ignored the humans. Back in the Land of Extreme Ice, anyone who dared stare at her like that would have already been beaten up.
"Bing'er, are you doing well..."
The Lord of Extreme Ice exuded a distant chill that kept others at arm's length, yet when she recalled the past, a trace of pitiable vulnerability appeared on her face.
The icy mist around her carried an otherworldly, mysterious air.
Several Sun Moon Empire playboys who had been observing her for quite some time all intended to step forward and introduce themselves.
"Don't push me! She's mine!"
"Yours? Is your name tattooed on her body?"
The two men even started fighting over it, while a flirtatious-looking man quietly slipped over.
"Beautiful lady, I am a Level 6 Soul Tool Master of the Empire's Mingde Hall. Your captivating beauty has deeply attracted me. Might I have the honor of sharing dinner with you?"
Ximen Qing delivered those familiar lines as though he had said them hundreds of times. He often relied on that status to toy with women everywhere.
Recently, he had even developed a particular fetish, specifically targeting married women.
Looking at that noble, icy beauty, Ximen Qing's heart burned with desire. If there had not been so many people watching, he would have made his move long ago.
Disgust flashed through Snow Empress's eyes. This human's gaze made her very uncomfortable, but she had already become human now. Adapting to the human world was also a form of cultivation.
She rose to leave. This sort of scum had ruined her mood; if he dared stop her, she would turn him into an ice sculpture.
Seeing the meat on his plate about to leave, how could Ximen Qing possibly agree?
"Don't go, beauty. Is my status as a Mingde Hall researcher not worthy of you?"
Ximen Qing had just raised his hand to stop her when a swiftly flying fireball smashed him into the lake.
"People like him are still a minority in our Taiyue Empire."
Xu Xiao's handsome face, paired with his domineering presence, immediately set every woman's imagination running wild the moment he appeared.
"If you had arrived one step later, that man would have died. Since you saved me, it would not have been right for me to kill your man."
Looking at the man who had once held her body, Snow Empress concealed the tremor in her heart very well.
"That man abuses his status as a Mingde Hall researcher to frequently harm decent people in the imperial capital. I have only recently taken the throne, so I have not yet had time to clear out such vermin."
Snow Empress was rather surprised that an emperor as domineering as Xu Xiao would actually explain himself to her. She felt somewhat pleased inside, but her expression remained as cold and aloof as ever.
"What did you come to see me for?"
"Let's change locations. There are too many people here."
Xu Xiao turned around and only began leading the way after Snow Empress followed.
The men who had still been arguing over who would approach the beauty first all felt a pang in their hearts, as though their moonlight had been stolen away!
In the distant lake, Ximen Qing dragged his injured body ashore, his eyes filled with hatred.
He swore that Xu Xiao, who had ruined his good thing, would pay the price. For now, he could only quietly return home.
Of course, Xu Xiao had already arranged for people to watch him. He would not easily spare such vermin. He had merely refrained from killing someone in public because of the scenery here.
Did someone so filthy deserve to die in a place like this?
"Although I have destroyed the Evil Soul Masters' headquarters, there are still some remnants scattered across the Douluo Continent."
"Although you were once the Lord of Extreme Ice, after rebuilding your cultivation, you should be able to sense that most of your power has also been sealed."
Snow Empress knew her own situation as well. For now, staying with Xu Xiao was relatively safe. If she went to Douluo Three Kingdoms and had the misfortune of encountering a Title Douluo's detection, then...
Still, she stubbornly said, "Though this Empress has rebuilt her cultivation as a human, even a Title Douluo cannot take my life."
"However, this Empress is indeed curious about the lives of you humans."
Xu Xiao knew that Snow Empress had already made up her mind.
Following her words, he said, "Then stay with me. As the Emperor of Taiyue, I can still provide you with plenty of conveniences."
Xu Xiao did not mention the Ice Empress. How could a human possibly know about the relationship between those two soul beasts?
"Fine," Snow Empress replied flatly.
"What level are you now?"
Though Xu Xiao was asking, he also activated the system's scanning function.
Character: Snow Empress Identity: Lord of Extreme Ice (she has the tiniest bit of affection for you, though not much; aside from the Ice Empress and her godson, you rank third in her heart) Martial Soul: Heavenly Snow Woman (Extreme Ice) Intent: Intent of Extreme Cold (Complete) Soul Power Cultivation: Level 62 (Spirit Emperor) Combat Power: Invincible among Soul Douluo, capable of escaping with her life from an ordinary Title Douluo Soul Ring Configuration: Red, red, red, red, red, red (can be concealed as six black)
Seeing his ranking in the identity section, Xu Xiao's mouth twitched slightly.
As expected of a Heavenly Snow Woman with seven hundred thousand years of cultivation. Xu Xiao liked this kind of challenge. If a woman was too easy to pursue, he would find it far less satisfying.
Snow Empress possessed the same noble and icy temperament as in the comic from his previous life. In fact, she looked even better in person than in the comic.
"By the Soul Power Level classification used by you humans, I am currently a Level 62 Assault System Spirit Emperor."
After circulating the Soul Power within her body,
"However, because I rebuilt my cultivation, I am also affected by my Ultimate Martial Soul. My cultivation speed will be slow before Level 70."
Xu Xiao naturally understood this. He himself possessed Extreme Fire; if not for the system, his Soul Power Level probably would not even have reached Soul Ancestor yet.
He summoned his Sun Martial Soul.
A miniature sun rose, and the searing heat instantly enveloped the surroundings. Snow Empress could sense that if a weaker Soul Master encountered it, even their soul would likely be scorched.
She stared at the Martial Soul Xu Xiao had summoned in astonishment.
"This is Extreme Fire?!"
She had not expected an Ultimate Martial Soul to still exist on the continent!
Over the past ten thousand years, only three Soul Masters with Ultimate Martial Souls had appeared, and all of them had been on Shrek's side.
Xu Xiao nodded and smiled at Snow Empress.
"Our Ultimate Martial Souls cultivate slowly from Level 30 to Level 70, but now that you are here, things are different."
"We can undergo Dual Cultivation to temper our bodies and accelerate the growth of our Soul Power. Ice and fire can restrain each other, but they can also advance together."
Snow Empress thought Xu Xiao's words made sense. Though she was very curious how Xu Xiao had attained his current Soul Power Level, everyone had their own secrets.
"The Dual Cultivation you mentioned... what kind is it?"
After asking that, Snow Empress felt a wave of embarrassment. Her cold gaze began shifting away.
"Of course, it means pressing our palms together and transferring our ultimate Soul Power to each other. What were you thinking?"
"Nothing... nothing. Then let's do that. From now on, come over for a while every day."
Snow Empress, who had been single for seven hundred thousand years, spoke as she ran off. She was afraid Xu Xiao would see the blush on her face, now that she had become a human woman.
Xu Xiao actually also had the Tower of Myriad Laws, which could accelerate the cultivation of an Ultimate Martial Soul.
Watching the back of the white dress gradually disappear, Xu Xiao suddenly felt amused. I'm not one of those fools from my previous life. How could I fail to cherish an opportunity delivered right into my hands?
